Speaking of SMP systems, will m0n0wall take advantage of a SMP system?

I'm running on a single 200MHz box right now, but I'll soon have a 
2x300MHz box becoming available. 

Assuming I don't run into any other hardware issues, that box has more 
PCI slots then my current system, and since I'm going to be going gigE 
relatively soon, I'd like to expand.

Is it worth using an SMP box, or should I try to pick up another non-SMP 
box?
